Boa® Glove – A necessity in the nastiest conditions

The idea for this glove came in the ridiculously cold and rain-soaked 2014 Milan–San Remo. Our pro riders had numb hands and couldn’t get their gloves on or off to eat, or to change jackets or gloves. So we worked with Boa to make a glove that’s easier to open up and thus easier to get on and off. We built it with OutDry technology for waterproofness and made it come high up the wrist so your sleeve can completely cover it. The easy on/off is also handy when you have to interrupt your ride for an urgent phone call or text message.

Hey Fabio, do you know if these are completely waterproof? They look a little bulky but I love the mechanism that makes them easy to remove – there’s nothing worse than spending 10 minutes trying to take off gloves with frozen hands at the end of your ride. Waterproof will be a bonus!

Yes Jeff they are big and completely made by Outdry® material, to cover up your hand. Don’t worry Jeff, you would not take 10 minutes to remove your gloves, Boa® Glove was developed after the 2014 Milan-Sarenmo, where riders had the frozen hands and removing gloves was painful.

Hey Søren
Not a direct question to the gloves, but i do need a new Castelli jacket , for the early spring and early summer, i guess you are Danish, so i hope you have a good idea on which jacket will fit best for the conditions we have here in Denmark.
Have been very lucky so far with a really old jacket thats has done a faboules job ( 10 years s my guess ) can send you a picture of the jacket if you like.
But i really think its time to move forward with a newer model.
Thank you in advance
